Sorry, mate. paperbag

Anyway, here's a clip from youtube of Jim Clarke in his heyday. Although I'd prefer old pictures on here, this youtube clip is so interesting, particularly if you're familiar with Oulton..

Jim Clarke

A bit earlier than the 70's, obviously. So I guess the thread is open to pictures from all decades!

Please, pablo. That would be brilliant if you could spend some time putting the images on here.

in hindsight it must be fittipaldi not peterson. anyway, i will get a digital slide thing soon and sort it all out. there are loads from the seventies at various circuts and back when paddock access was easy to obtain so there might even be enough for a book or something, not that there is a shortage of books with pictures of racing cars in the seventies but....one more wouldnt hurt surely??!..

Hey! That's my car!!!

Or it was after Gerry had finished thrashing it, and I bought it off his accountant in 1984 and ran it in the Road Saloons championship for a few years!

Sorry Jon, 8 "working" days before I'm out of a job so even if there were much on, which there isn't, my heart wouldn't be in it. That Autosport forum was like shooting fish in a barrel though, so best you just look there, I've some photos I could scan in of my dads this weekend. Would that show a bit more effort and willingness?
